  • Tunisia: “I was banned from travelling, without any explanation

    Feature
    Duration : 1m 55s
    Alongside 45 Tunisian and international organizations, including Nobel Peace Prize winning ones, Human Rights Watch has launched a campaign titled “No To Terrorism, Yes To Human Rights”. After several terrorist attacks hit Tunisia in 2015 and 2016, these groups came together to affirm that human rights abuses should not be allowed to taint legitimate counterterrorist operations. In this video, Tunisian international traveler Hossam Hamdi says he was abusively banned from travelling after security services “opened a file” on him as part of counterterrorist efforts. Hamdi was never notified of his travel ban, which prevented him from seeking redress.
